Poplar fiber was treated with phosphate solution as a modifier and then wood fiber/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) degradable composite was prepared by melt blending with HDPE. The effects of phosphate solution concentration on tensile strength and flexural strength of composites were investigated. The surface morphology of phosphate-treated poplar fibers was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the phosphate treatment increases the surface roughness of the poplar fiber, increases the strength of the single fiber, and effectively improves the mechanical adhesion to the HDPE matrix. However, when the phosphate concentration is too large, the density of the cellulose molecular chains is lowered, and the mechanical properties of the whole fiber are lowered. When the concentration of phosphate solution is 3%, the treatment time is 4 h, and the treatment temperature is 60°C, the tensile properties, bending properties, and water resistance of poplar fiber/HDPE composites are the best.

Wood flour is inexpensive, and can be used as a reinforcing agent to improve the mechanical properties of high density polyethylene, reduce cost. Wood fiber as a renewable natural material, biodegradation, therefore, high filling wood powder high density polyethylene composite material with certain environmental compatibility, at the same time, high density polyethylene can be a source of waste recycling materials, therefore plastic-wood composite material is a kind of can reduce the "white pollution" environmental material.

Abstract Polyblend films were prepared from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) up to 20% PLLA by the melt blending method in an extrusion mixer with post-extrusion blown film attachment. The 80/20 (HDPE/PLLA) blend was compatibilized with maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MA) in varying ratios [up to 8 parts per hundred of resin (phr)]. Tensile properties of the films were evaluated to obtain optimized composition for packaging applications of both non-compatibilized and compatibilized blends. The compositions HDPE80 (80% HDPE and 20% PLLA) and HD80C4 (80% HDPE, 20% PLLA and 4 phr compatibilizer) were found to be optimum for packaging applications. However, better tensile strength (at yield) and elongation (at break) of 80/20 (HDPE/PLLA) blend were noticed in the presence of PE-g-MA. Further, thermal properties and morphologies of these blends were evaluated. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) study revealed that blending does not much affect the crystalline melting point of HDPE and PLLA, but heat of fusion of 80/20 (HDPE/PLLA) blend was decreased as compared to that of neat HDPE. Spectroscopy studies showed evidence of the introduction of some new groups in the blends and gaining compatibility in the presence of PE-g-MA. The compatibilizer influenced the morphology of the blends, as apparent from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and supported by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR).

Silica containing immobilized nanosilver (Ag-SiO2) or nanocopper (Cu-SiO2) was used as a filler for high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The HDPE/Ag-SiO2and HDPE/Cu-SiO2composites were prepared by melt blending and injection molding. The microstructure of the composites was examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The crystallization behavior and thermal properties were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TGA). The mechanical properties were characterized by tensile, flexural, and impact tests as well as dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). The ability of silica to give antimicrobial activity to HDPE was also investigated and discussed. The TEM images indicate that Ag-SiO2show lower degree of agglomeration than Cu-SiO2nanoparticles. The crystallization temperature increased, whereas crystallinity decreased in the composites. The thermal stability of the composites was significantly better compared to HDPE. Improved stiffness indicating very good interfacial adhesion was observed. Excellent activity against different kinds of bacteria was found.

The effect of salicylic acid as a coupling agent on the tensile properties, and morphology analysis of recycled high density polyethylene/wood fiber (rHDPE/WF) composites were studied. Both composites rHDPE/WF and rHDPE/WFM (treatment with salicylic acid) were prepared using Brabender Plasticorder at temperature of 160°C and rotor speed of 50 rpm. The result indicated that rHDPE/WFM composites with salicylic acid exhibit higher tensile strength and modulus of elasticity but lower elongation at break than rHDPE/WF composites. The SEM micrographs showed that the wood fiber was more widely dispersed in the rHDPE matrix with addition of ethyl salicylate than rHDPE/WFM.
